Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes during 2024 to the risk factors that were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024. , except as shown below.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to properly remediate this material weakness or if we are otherwise unable to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, material misstatements in our financial statements could occur and we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common stock, and our ability to remain listed on Nasdaq.
We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to a management review control over prospective financial information used in the Companys goodwill impairment assessment, and specifically, not sufficiently performing and documenting the reasonableness of significant assumptions used therein. See Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures of this quarterly report for additional information about this material weakness and our remediation efforts.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory investigations. We continue to evaluate and implement steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the management review control operates for a sufficient period of time and management concludes, through testing, that the control operates effectively. If we do not successfully remediate the material weakness, or if other material weaknesses or other deficiencies arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, specifically potential goodwill impairments, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports, which could adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common stock, and our ability to remain listed on Nasdaq.
